When you have poor alignment, this does not mean your only hope is metal braces. In fact, our approach to advanced dentistry means we can provide a clear and cozy alternative to braces! In today’s blog, your team at Lake Orion Family Dentistry talks about correcting uneven teeth with our custom (and clear) SureSmile aligners.
The Impact of Poor Alignment
How does an uneven smile impact your overall oral health? When you have crooked and crowded teeth, then this could make brushing and flossing your teeth a difficult process. The risk of tooth decay and gum disease will rise as a result. The impact on your bite balance could also leave you vulnerable to issues like TMJ disorder and even bruxism (teeth grinding). You may also feel self-conscious in social sittings, which impacts your overall quality of life in negative ways. But we can help you avoid these issues by treating your poor alignment with a cosmetic and holistic approach using SureSmile aligners.
Creating Your SureSmile Aligners
The key to the success of this orthodontic treatment is the custom nature of your plastic orthodontic trays. These will be crafted for you based on detailed digital images we take of your bite. They will fit comfortably and help shift your teeth with precision and accuracy. They are made from a BPA-free acrylic material, and are clear in appearance, so they are barely visible, which many of our teen and adult patients prefer.
Straightening Your Teeth
How do we straighten uneven smiles with these clear and cozy orthodontic aligners? With SureSmile, you will wear a set from a series of them for about two weeks, usually between 20 and 23 hours a day. You then repeat this process as you work through the entire series, and an even smile could be possible in as little as one year. We will discuss how to clean and soak your aligners.
They can also be removeable, which means you can take them out before you eat, so no need to avoid certain foods or change your diet during treatment. Being removable also means a much easier time brushing and flossing, no need to work around orthodontics appliances at all! If you have any questions about how we correct uneven smiles with SureSmile aligners, or if you want to see if these are right for you, then reach out to our team today to get started and learn more!
